Hi Dominik,

Thanks for your feedback, this is going to be valuable when I start 
hacking, which is likely to be over the Christmas holidays.

netbeans distinguishes between new lines and modified lines.  I'd be 
tempted to keep both types of change in there, if things don't get too 
colorful. Also, netbeans shows little red wedges where lines have been 
deleted which I find personally useful too.

I like the yellow thing. That could even be used for non version 
controlled documents.

Yes, I was thinking the same today: I'd much, much rather see this 
implemented as a plugin too. Would this still let me add things to 
katetextline? I guess not. That's not a problem though, since I think 
I'm going to have to come up with my own data structures to deal with 
added/modified/deleted lines and keep them up to date as things are 
edited. Nuff things to keep my mind occupied in the near future...

Will
